variety differs from the ordinary Kerry
in having round, plump body, short
and thick legs a heavier and coarser
head and larger and straighter horns.
Kerry cows are extremely hardy; and
although very active, they are very gen
tie and do well when tethered on confined
bits of grass. Although in their natural
condition they have picked up scanty
livelihood for generations on thin, billy,
pastures. they generously pay for good
feed, and thrive well when kept constant
ly house fed. Attempts have been made
to cross the Kerry with the kindred West
Highland breed, the Devon, Ayrshire and
Holstein, but the results have not been
satisfactory, but when Kerry COW is put
to good shorthorn bull, the produce
possess great aptitude to fatten, with su-
perior quality of flesh, and great weight
of carcass. Youatt says Kerry cows fat
ten rapidly when required, and this is
true when they have been kept, like other
breeds, on fair pasture; but poor Kerries
especially bullocks, when obtained direct
ly from their native mountain pastures
take some time before they begin to
show Improvement. But once they be-
gin their progress is rapid, and when
slaughtered their flesh is of prime quail
ty-fne in the grain and we'll favored.
Their weights when fat are from 800 to
500 pounds, though extra fed beasts will
turn the scales at $50 pounds.
In the mountain districts of Ireland,
where iceland is poor and cold, and the
heritage scaEt the Kerry is and must re
main, the best breed, and in richer dis
tricts also she has lately heen introduced,
not for fancy purposes, but for her genu-
inc merits in the dairy. Several small
importations have been made to this
country, and doubtless the Kerry COW
would be quite profitable in sections
| where the conditions are similar to those
in which she is profitable in her native
country.

A Loving Squirrel.


The intensity of animal affection has
just been pathetically illustrated in this
city. Three years ago Mr.. Jacob Gard
ener, of Bull street, sold lady large,
black squirrel, which had attracted con-
siderable attention while at the store, on
account of its unusual size and the beauty
of its coat.
The animal became the favorite pet of
its purchaser, and was often given the
freedom of the house, and other liberties
not often enjoyed by its kind when in
captivity were extended it. Occasionally
the chatterer left the premises. but never
failed to return when night approached.
1t was the object of most constant pet
ting and nearly always slept snuggled up
in the arms of its mistress.
A few days ago the owner left the city
for few days, leaving the squirrel at
home. The little animal soon missed her
and ran from room to room, all over the
house and grounds in search of her, Civ
ing unmistakable evidence of grief. All
efforts to console on the part of others
were unavailing, and the squirrel refused
either to be comforted or to partake of
food, from time to time giving vent to
pitiful little cries indicative of grief.
After week had elapsed and it became
evident that the little sorrower's death
was a matter of only a few days,
the owner was aotified and returned home.
Her arrival was greeted with evidences of
wild Joy by the squirrel, which jumped
into her arms with all the signs of happi-
ness that its weakened condition would
permit. 1t made every effort to partake
of the tempting food placed before it,
tx,,4 Il l. l.
following day, with its eyes turned at
most pitifully into those of its mistress,
it gasped out its life while lying in her
arms.

Breeding Grade Horses.

Farm, Field and Stocknau
Very many farmers seem to suppose
they should use small stallion in the
breeding up of colts that are to be raised
for farm and general every day use.
Nothing could be farther from the mark.
Some years ago there was special craze
for Morgan horses as sires, especially
those of the Black Hawk strain. These
were understood horses, although active
and full of nerve. They were not large
enough for ordinary farm work, or gen
eral teaming, and the use of these as
sires cost the horse breeders of the west
millions of dollars in the reduction in size
of the progeny.
Another class are now i'll favor of using
thoroughbred stations. This is better,
if large, stanch sires can be had-a most
difficult matter at anything like moderate
cost.
Still another class breed grade sires to
their mares. This class are much further
out of the way than either of the other
classes of breeders.
The true policy is to employ only pure
ly bred sires of the draft blood. This in
creases the size, adds bone and muscle,
and is by no means violent cross, espe-
cially upon mares of good size. In this
case a large sized Clydeshire, Percheron
or French draft sire may be used. For
smaller mares select medium sized sires
of the draft breed that may be fancied.
Thus, in few years of breeding, you will
have strain of horses good for any pur,
pose where size, strength, honesty at a
pull, and a fair amount of speed is re-
quired. Then, also, when you wish to sell
you can always get good price for we'll
matched colts. Give little weedy sires a
wide berth. Breed only to the best. They
are the cheapest in the end.

Housing Sheep.
American Agriculturis

1t is one of the most prevalent and
persistent errors of the farmer that sheep
need housing less than any other domes-
tic animal, because they have a better
natural covering. We are told by these
disbelievers that sheep will stand quietly
for hours in rain when by moving ten
feet they could get under cover. There
are generally two reasons for this fact.
First-The house is SO foul with ammonia
Though the flock master, whose nostrils
are generally several feet above the floor,
may not perceive it, that they will suffer
before they will enter it. Second-Unless
the rain is violent it takes it some time
to enter the skin of the animal and
cause them inconvenience. An animal
bearing pelage of short thin hairs,
though 1t experiences discomfort from
the falling drops sooner than one which
has dense coat, is really better prepared
to resist the hardships of outdoor life
than the other, for the reason that the
water dries off sooner.
Cold is an enemy of life, and chills are
always a loss. External chills drive the
blood in upon the viscera and produce
congestion in greater or less degree,
pneumonia, fever, colds in the head, etc.
The farmer who suffers his sheep to get a
wetting every few days through the win
ter, wonders why they are shifting SO
much, with their nostrils constantly
plugged up with disgusting accumula-
tions of dried mucus. He smears tar
over their noses; he holds them between
| his knees, pulls their tongues well out
| and thrusts tar far back into their mouths
What they need is not tar on the roots of
| their tongues, but tar on the roof, dry
footing, and dry, wholesome atmosphere
They want plenty of warm red blood in
stead of tar

FARM NOTES.

Try crude petroleum which will cost
10 cents a gallon, as a wood preservative.
Applied to the fences and wood that rests
on the ground, it will add years to the
wear.
If you have spare time during the win
ter it can be put to profitable use in fork
ing over the manure heap. The mater
ials can not be made too fine or thorough
ly decompossd.
Now that eggs are high the best way to
get them is to have warm quarters for the
hens, and feed on variety of foods with
meat as portion of the ration three times
per week.
An excellent mode of utilizing any
spare time os winter is to clean up and
burn all the dried grass and the weeds.
Trimming the trees and the vizes may
be done at any time between now and
spring.
The fall colts may be given all the
ground oats they can eat. As the mares
will have but little labor to perform at
this season of the year there will be no
necessity fo- weaving the colts before
spring.
Stock, as a rule. are naturally clean and
will not lie down to rest in a manure pile
if more clearly and comfortable quar-
ters are provided, and we al know that
cleanliness is conducive of health.
It is said that when horse strays off
he is usually found wandering in the di
rsction the wind Is blowing, thus turning
his back to the wind, but with sheep the
contrary is the case, as sheep fsce the
storm.
Try cutting clover into short lengths,
sleeping il over night in hot water and
feeding to the hogs. 1t makes a cheap
food but one of the best, not only assist
ing them in growth but greatly promot
ing helth.
All the plans for next season should be
arranged now. Have everything in read
mess TO begin work when busy spring
comes, as no time can be spared to at
tend to those matters which may be over
looked nov.
There is as much profit in horse-rais-
ing a. with any other class of stock. A
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1887-01-28

Fodder corn is becoming more and
more an essential crop on the farms. In
no way can so much bulk of food be pro-
duced at so little cost. 1t fills the silo
the fastest, and it goes the furthsst when
cured. The moving machine renders the
cutting less laborious, which may be made
even less by utilizing the reaper. Thu
old-time bush scythe, when welded by a
strong arm, will lay down a large breadth
of it. We should have it to bridge over
the summers drouth and make up for the
overfed pasture. 1t will help fill out the
autumn and fill the demands of winter.
1t should be known that in cod winter it
is. not complete food, but lacks in neat
producing properties. These should be
supplied in other forms, or stock will only
live, and perhaps get poorer. A little
corn meal fed with corn stalks will bal
ance up the ration. In all cases there
should be some fat forming foods along
with the cornstalks. Farmers, no doubt,
have noticed that corn stalks will increase
the flow of milk, but it will lack in butter
fats. This want may be supplied by feed
ing corn, Hnseed, cotton seed meal or
other grains. II is economy to give the
COWS extra feed with the corn FODDER, and
SO supply all of the wants of the system
ard prevent depletion.

WHERE POKER Is PLAYED.

A Town in Which Only One Man Abstains.
This little oil town, on the line of the
Clean, Bradford and Warren Railroad, and
partly in Pennsylvania and partly in New
York, is the greatest poker playing place
in the entire northern oil field, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Times. There
is only one man in the place who does not
play the game, and ne is veteran oil
man known as Bible Joe, whose only re-
creation is reading the Bible, which he
does constantly when not at work. No
one knows what this mans name is or
where he came from, although he has
been in the oil regions since the days of
the Pithole excitement. He holds prayer
meetings every Sunday night and always
has a good audience of oil-weli drillers
and the like, who go to meeting, as they
say, to encourage Bible Joe, but as soon
as the service is over they hasten to their
favorite retreats and play poker. Hardly
an evening passes that there are not some
notable games played at State Line be-
tween rival New York and Pennsylvania
players. They come from as far as Brad
ford, Clean, Warren, Salamanca, and even
jamestown.
Since active drilling ceased in the State
Line district large portion of the men
with families have moved away, their
places being filled by young men who
pump the wells and take care of the
| leases. With the use of natural gas and
automatic inspjrators, with one boiler
| running the engines for all the leases or
lots on which producing wells are situat-
ed the men find but little to do. The
man ON the lease visits the wells in the
morning turns on the gas, touches a
| match to it, sets his inspirator, oils his
engine, takes gauge of the oil, and has
nothing more to DO all day, unless some
thing breaks down. To make the most
of their spare time the boys rig up what
| they call telltale wire, running from
one lease to the others. This wire is at
| tached to the walking beam of the well
at one lease and to a wooden ticker at
the other, and by this means the pumper
at No. l No. or vice versa, know
all the time just how fast his engine is
going halfmile or so away. AS long
as his ticker responds regularly the two
| bumpers and other acquaintance sit and
| handle their pasteboards and risk their
months wages on their skill or luck. If
the players belong to the same State the
| rules of the game are not drawn too fine
and a winner will be willing to take
wind" on bet. But if one player is a
york SLATER" and the other Pennsyl-
vanian the money must accompany each
bet and everything be settled as the
| game proceeds. Within a radius of two
miles of this poker playing settlement
there are ten games in constant progress.
Orders on employers for wages are ac-
cepted as cash in these games, and it is
no uncommon thing for a player to nave
his entire salary ordered out" before the
month has fairly begun.
